'Delete' Summer Boredom & 'Upload' some local geography with new NI Minecraft App

By now our little learners may have played with every boardgame, jigsaw and bucket of Lego in the house, read all their books and all those in the local library and played with all their friends (local and family) to the point of being tired of the sight of them.

If so then the boys and girls in Ordnance Survey NI have the app for your little learner.  Land & Property Services (LPS) have developed a free downloadable Minecraft® map for Northern Ireland using Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland (OSNI) digital map products. Minecraft fans can now freely explore, build and create their own world across the whole of Northern Ireland.

The Minecraft NI map consists of over five billion blocks and equates to an area of almost 14,000km² covering all of Northern Ireland.
